This Steering Intermediate Shaft integrates two precision-balanced Universal Joints (U-Joints) and a telescoping steel body. The hardware is constructed from high-tensile carbon steel to maintain structural integrity and torsional strength within the steering linkage loop.
The assembly is treated for environmental exposure and tested for salt spray endurance. Designed to address erratic steering feedback and excessive mechanical play, this shaft restores factory-specified signal characteristics and maintains proper torque geometry for the steering gearbox interface.
Each unit undergoes vibration testing and cycles tested validation for U-joint articulation. The precision-machined splines are engineered for exact geometric matching with the steering column and gearbox inputs, meeting OE specifications for acoustic decibel limits and torsional load balance.
Professional installation is required; always align the steering wheel and lock it in the center position before removing the old hardware to maintain clock-spring signal integrity. Replaces OE# 425-5603, 26008098, 15024764. Confirm spline count and shaft length before purchase.
